Two new poems. Need help with answer the questions I ask. Mainly written to debate a point with a friend. The first one is happier than the other.
Opinions on Angels and Strawberries
What does it seem like they are?
Lions? Raptors? They prequel of men?
And if, to you, they are as we--
a creature that knows its own will and self--
for what purpose are they with us?
To guard? Judge? Kill if commanded?
I simply wonder your opinion,
however strange it may seem.
For my part, for this day,
I would think a great deal of my friend as...
Just someone to share your
strawberries with.
Questions: Out of Weakness?
When one sets a standard
for oneself one tends to meet it,
no?
What if someone other than
yourself set a standard for you?
One of weakness.
If that someone is God,
who is apparently all Things,
does that not mean Nature,
Life, and the Never-Fading
have damned you?
That if you do not turn to
that which in All minds right
you will be forever weak
and thus condemned
I now ponder the Snake
and his show of free will.
Another predestined thing...?
Please, advice and answers to the questions. sad

I often fail to meet my standards because of my strong desires. I don't spend as much time in God's Word as I should. I often feel that I have disappointed or failed God, and that He doesn't care, but I should know better. I know that God has plans for us (Jer. 29:11, which I had to look up on biblegateway.com, but should have memorized), and that He doesn't force us to go with Him. He has revealed His will to many; many followed and saw the blessings. Others did not and suffered (although sometimes it's the opposite--see Job--). I know that this isn't the most encouraging things for me to say, but this is what I feel more than what I believe. I know it's probably the same or at least similar for many others.
